BioGPS analysis revealed that Lin28a expression is significantly higher in muscle tissues than in other tissues. Lin28a-positive muscle stem cells (Lin28a+ MuSCs) were sorted from Lin28a-CreERT2; LSL-tdTomato mouse skeletal muscle tissue, which exhibited a higher proliferation rate than the control group. Lin28a-bound transcripts are enriched in various biological processes such as DNA repair, cell cycle, mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative stress response. The expression of insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (Igf2bp3) was markedly elevated in the presence of Lin28a. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis further demonstrated that Lin28a associates with Igf2bp3. Immunofluorescence analyses confirmed that Lin28a, Igf2bp3 and G3bp1 colocalize to form stress granules (SG), and N6-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A) modification promotes the formation of Lin28a-SG. Sequencing of the transcriptome and RNAs immunoprecipitated by Lin28a, Igf2bp3 and m<sup>6</sup>A antibodies in Lin28a+ MuSCs further revealed that Lin28a and Igf2bp3 collaboratively regulate the expression of DNA repair-related genes, including Fancm and Usp1. Lin28a stabilises Igf2bp3, Usp1, and Fancm mRNAs, enhancing DNA repair against oxidative or proteotoxic stress, thus promoting MuSCs self-renewal.

Brd4 expresses highly in endothelial cells within various tumours and is positively correlated with numerous invasive genes, making it an ideal focal point for further research on the relationship between blood vessels and cell competition. Our results indicated that the absence of endothelial Brd4 led to a reduction in neural stem cell mortality and compromised cell competition. Endothelial Brd4 regulated cell competition was dependent on Testican2. Testican2 was capable of depositing Sparc and acted as a suppressor of Sparc. Compromised cell competition resulted in the depletion of neural stem cells and accelerated brain ageing. Testican2 could rescue the run-off of neural stem cells and accelerate the turnover rate of neurons. AD patients show compromised cell competition.
